Reseachers publishing in Antioxidants have combined three antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds and tested their effects in human beings. Three complementing choices What is Inflammaging? Chronic Inflammation and AgingOne of the aging processes consists of a chronic, smoldering background of inflammation that researchers call “inflammaging”.Read More The first component the researchers included was AM3, a compound...

In Aging Cell, researchers have published a potential method of ameliorating disc degeneration that focuses on the cells living in a low-oxygen environment within the discs. Living on low oxygen Yesterday, we discussed how an antioxidant compound was found to alleviate intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD). This related paper focuses on a tissue that is already...

In Aging Cell, researchers have published detailed information on why the antioxidant pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), which is known to be safe in humans, alleviates age-related disc degeneration in mice. A return to antioxidants Oxidative stress was once considered to be the core of aging, a concept that has since been supplanted by more detailed and...

In Aging, researchers have published negative results on the long-term use of methylene blue and mitoquinone (MitoQ), two popular antioxidants, to sustain bone health in mice. Oxidative stress and bone health Previous work has found that oxidative stress, which is commonly associated with age-related disease and damage, is related to bone diseases. Substantial amounts of...

Scientists have found that EGCG and curcumin, two well-known antioxidants, are effective both alone and especially in combination in a mouse model of cognitive decline induced by oxidative stress [1]. Not the usual stress Oxidative stress results mostly from molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are byproducts of normal chemical reactions in the body....

  In a controlled human study published in Frontiers in Public Health, Iranian researchers have demonstrated that resistance training and creatine supplementation are effective in helping older people retain their strength. Strength training isn't just for athletes It is widely known that weightlifting and other resistance training activities become less effective with age, a phenomenon...
